Grounding Instructions

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

110-120 V~ Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

SETUP

OPERATION

1.In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

2.Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

3.Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.

If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding conductor to a live terminal.

4.Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

5.Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
